100th Glider Mission
Glider RU16 on its way to deployment
The Rutgers University Coastal Ocean Observation Lab (RU COOL) has been flying gliders for almost 4 years. On March 13, 2007 RU COOL reached a major milestone, launching the 100th glider mission from the coast of Massachusetts, off the UMass-Dartmouth vessel Lucky Lady. This mission will take the glider (RU 100) from the coast of Massachusetts to the continental shelf, where it will zig-zag it’s way down to New Jersey, before swimming to shore - a distance of over 500km.

RU 100 carries an onboard bio-optics package to measure biological activity and sediment in the ocean, which will provide a huge amount of information on how biological productivity in the ocean might affect physical processes over such a large region. Along the way it will also meet up with a research ship, assisting in the study of Atlantic fisheries. The 100th Glider Mission website contains real-time data, example research questions for students, references, and a blog.  LINK >>
Antarctic Summer

Classroom educators are invited to connect with scientists Alex and Elizabeth as they spend a summer in Antarctica (2008-2009). Community members will work to develop lesson plans and activities that can used to bring real Antarctic science to students, educating them on the importance of doing research in places like Antarctica to better understand ocean ecosystems and how the climate is changing.

Arctic Climate Modeling Program

The Arctic Climate Modeling Program (ACMP) provides curriculum-based resources designed with input from 21 scientists from the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. Resources include K-12 inquiry-based classroom lessons, a student network for observing arctic weather, digital lectures, and an interactive multimedia learning system (on DVD). The ACMP program is funded through a grant from the National Science Foundation ITEST program and is managed by the Geophysical Institute Public Information and Education Outreach Office.
